DREW A CAPITAL PRIZE.
James Robinson Guilty of Murder as
Charged.


RAvENNA, o., Dec. 10. Especial. +
The suspense is over. The last OF the
trio of desperadoes has been told OF his
doom. The eloquence of Tom Mar
shall, the testimony Of the 'Elyria con-
tingent," the ever vigilant Sam Eddy
all failed to secure the acquittal of the
accomplice of Morgan ill the murder OF
William II. Hulligan.
The case was given to the jury on
Saturday night, but they were unable
to agree upon a verdict up to midnight,
and remained in the jury room all day
Sunday. At about five o'clock yester-
day afternoon gentle tap on the door
of the Jury room attracted the Sheriff,
who walked over to the door and was
informed that the jury had at last
agreed upon verdict.
Immediately the court room began
filling up with counsel, friends of the
prisoner and the general public, who
had waited so patiently for the appear
ance of the jury.
At about half-past five Robinson, the
prisoner, was brought in, pale and hag-
gard, and took the seat which he has
occupied during the trial. He was ac-
companied by his two sisters and
brothers. Shortly afterward the jury
filed in and took their seats,
Gentlemen, have you agreed on a
yerdict?" asked the Clerk.
eve have" answered Foreman Par
sons.
Taking the verdict, Clerk Porter read
aloud, and when the words came, "We
find the defendant, James Robinson,
guilty of murder in the first degree,
there was a dead silence. Robinson
turned deathly pale but spoke not a
word. Both: Sisters jumped to their
feet in an instant, exclaiming "0h, my
God" and fell weeping and screaming
on the neck OF their brother. Their
sobs resounded through the large court
room. The scene was heartrending
and one never to be forgotten. Many
an auditor was moved to tears and a
number of the jurymen were VislDly
affected. With great difficulty was
prisoner taken from the arms of his
loving, broken hearted sisters, and re-
turned to his cell, a doomed man. The
prisoners sisters were assisted from the
room with great difficulty.
On his way back to Jail, Robinson
said: 81 am as innocent as any man IN
the court ROOM"
This is said to be the first murder
case lawyer Tom Marshall ever lost.

He takes his food at the hands of his

from such occasional spells of arousing,

LAUNDERING BLAINE.

Mr.. Blaine is given to blundering,
but usually blames the operator or
some one else.
1T is probable, says the Providence
Journal, (Rep.) that the echoes from
the United States will convince Mr..
Blaine that he was unsupported in his
remarks on President Cleveland's mes
sage" That is his customary way of
getting out of tight places. When the
Paris interviewer asked Mr.. Blaine
whether the proposed reductions in the
tariff would not give us large increase
in exports, he made answer as follows:
I can only repeat that it would vastly
enlarge our imports, while the other ex--
port It would seriously increase would
be our gold and silver. That would flow
out bounteously, just as it did under
the tariff of 1916.
Now. under the tariff of 1916 gold and
silver did not ''hOW out bOunteously."
From 1846 to 1850 it flowed in boun-
teously. The official reports show the
imports of gold and silver amounted
for these years to $36, ,l86,O0O, the ex-
ports to $6,l90O00, leaving balance In
favor of the United States of $29,966,-
OOO. California gold began to appear
in 1850, and naturally some of the sur
plus gold went abroad. From 1846 to
1856 total product of gold and sill
ver was S451, $4,000, which added to
S46. 900, 600 imports of coin, made total
of S497 $4,000 of gold and silver we
came into possession of. We only eX-
pOrted S22i 100000 of this, so that our
Stock of bullion actually increased un-
der the tariff of 1846 by $3.50, ,OOO, 600.
Mr.. Blaine intimates it had diminished.
Mr.. Blaine favors a tax on. whisky to
build Notifications along the coast and
that being done, would use it to tighten
the tax onreal estate.
Why use this whisky money to relieve
real estate Why discriminate against
the mass of the people who no doubt

Fogarty, who appears to be anxious to

Hon; Matthew Hale, distinguished
Republican lawyer of Albany, writes
the New York Times, showing the un-
constitutionality of this Blaine idea.
He points out the constitution empow-
ers congress "to lay and collect taxes,
duties, imposts and exercises, to pay
the debts and provide for the common
defense and general welfare of the
United State"-for these purposes and
no others.
The Providence Journal says of the
Blaine scheme: "All such nostrums as
that are for the infancy of political
economy To impose taxes for the
purpose of giving them away is pure
folly"
Some of the most vigorous criticisms
on Mr.. Blaine's bugle blast are from
Republican papers, being another case

TAX EvADERS.
The State Board of Tax Revision and
Remission was in session today consid-
ering the case presented by the Auditor
of Richland county against the Ault-
man-Taylor Manufacturing Company,
of Mansfield. 1t is charged that this
company has for years been systemat
ically evading taxation on a large
amount of taxable money of the firm'
by distributing it in the shape of notes
of the company among the stockhold-
ers, the same bearing the stipulation
that they are subject to the liens of
creditors. AS the company is perfectly
solvent this was considered only q
method of lodging. M. d. Harter,
RlNpANOhb VI GhC wac
the board this afternoon, and was
being subjected to rigid examination,
the result of which, it is believed, will
be that the company will be held to be
liable for back taxes. Governor Fora
ker calls it clear case of evasion.
The board also considered the petit
ton of the stockholders of the late
Fidelity National Bank, of Cincinnati,
who ask that the bogus return made by
their cashier to the Auditor be set
aside, since the bank was at that time
insolYent and possessed of no assets.
They claim exemption, therefore, from
a tax levied in reality upon spurious
return. AS the board was fully in
formed as to the merits of this case, it
is safe to say that the tax will be remit
ted One or two other unimportant
cases were also considered.
